even the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) is opposed

January 21, 2016

Position

The Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) holds that, when farmed animals are killed for food, the methods employed must minimize fear, anxiety, pain, distress and suffering, and they must result in immediate and confirmed death or rapid loss of consciousness that persists until the time of death. Though slaughter-without-stunning is currently allowed in Canada under certain circumstances, the CVMA is opposed to the practice as it causes avoidable pain.
